I Letters Patent No. 64,899, dated May 21, 1867; antedr'zted May 16, 1867. i

' PORTABLE BLAUKING-GASE.

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, ABRAHAM W. OVERBAUGII, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and improved Portable Blacking-Gase; and I do hereby declare that the following is a. full and exact description thereof, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the case when opened and in position for use as a foot-stand.

Figure 0 represents a foot-rest, which consists of a piece of metal or other substance, made with :tjoint or hinge at each end, which, when inserted in the incisions in the case, forms a rest for the foot.

Figure D is a circular incision in the case in which the box of blocking is to be inserted, and is retained in its position by a slide, A, which, by means of a thumb-screw, B, can be made to retain either a large or a small box,

Figure E is an incision in case to admit Hacking-brush.

Figure F is an incision in case to admit polishing-brush.

Figure G is an incision in case in which the foot-rest 0, when not in use and folded up at the joints, is to be placed.

FigureH is the foot at one end of the case.

Figure 2 is a view of the foot-rest, showing the foot-rest C when opened at the joint, and also when closed.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of case when open and in position for use as a bench.

Figure 3 is a view of case when closed, showing the position of fcet'h when closed.

Figure 4 is a front view of case when opened.

The nature of my invention consists in the arrangement of blacking and polishing implements in'the form of a book or box. 7

1. I claim the arrangement and combination of blackingnnd polishing utensils in the manner described, so that the, case when unfolded forms a stand or bench.

2. I also claim the feet combined with the devices in the manner described, so as to form an even surface when closed.
